Easily could have won Texas.
With a few key endorsements going his way instead of Biden's he could have split the vote in other states.
You could be right. shytty truth of the situation.
Bernie kind of got scammed by the relational organizing professional activist crowd. These are the same people who ran Momentum in the UK. A failure in two continents.
These activists helped him in 2016 but this cycle he could've just hired some DC insiders with good relations at the media outlets and it'd have paid off better. There's a place for it but they definitely overextended the relational organizing stuff. Biden has no organization but he gets 70 million in free media over two days and wipes all the door knocking away
Also I can't get mad at them for not going after Biden earlier. We have to remember we had to deal with the Buttigieg problem in Iowa/NH and then Bloomberg was making serious gains in the polls so we all thought Biden was done on Super Tuesday. They were in a tough spot regarding appealing to normal Democrats -- the left media was jerking themselves off during the Warren-Bernie plan war and he had to protect his left flank and keep his base. Not to mention like 70% of his DC team were Ready For Warren people in 2015 so
Momentum is officially the emperor's new clothes.
I think the lack of young voter turnout shook him as well.
Seriously breh, Bernie needs you as an advisor. I shyt you not.
Social media is an echo chamber, if Bernie wants to get his message out to older voters he needs earned media.
He also needs to appreciate that being humble and showing humility are two different things. Black people have been through struggles, and they identify with humility. Going to a black church, softening you tone and getting your message across to black people isn't something to be scorned, it's a part of the process.
He needs some blowout wins or else he's never going to catch up. At this point Biden is clearly the front runner.
I saw never-Trump Republicans pushing the idea that a huge number of Democratic primary voters in the suburbs were former-current Republicans who hate Trump. If that's true that could have been a boost to Biden.

Sanders simply needs to start attacking Biden.
Run ads shytting on his record. Run ads showing he cant complete a fukking sentence.
One thing ive learned working in sales and being an INTP who could give two fukks about emotional decisions is pretty much everyone else makes decisions on emotions and feelings above all else. I can make the most logical reasons for someone to take something and it wont mean jack shyt to them. Ive had people spend money on shyt they know they didnt need all because it made them feel a type of way to have it.
Bernie talking about medicare for all is great but its hard for people to miss something they never had. He wants to keep shyt about the issues meanwhile his opponents are calling him a communist, MSM has likened him to a Nazi, comparing him to Fidel Castro. The gloves need to come off. He's out here saying dumb shyt like " i like joe, joe is my friend." Bruh STFU and call him out.
Trump is going to roast Biden in the general.

He won't do that. Bernie is going to be Bernie. He is old and set in his ways, not some young flexible hot shot.
It's unfortunate but he's done. The powers that be have MSNBC, CNN, Fox, and the rest of the alphabet stations, 61+ billionaires (unfathomable money), countless millionaires, tons of other giants, the democratic establishment and Washington machine all hyper focused on Bernie and no longer spread across a bunch of candidates. Their propaganda and power is simply overwhelming. They are as one the superior entity. There is no path forward. When we look back on a historical level the only thing that could have helped was if Warren dropped out and endorsed him when Buttigieg dropped out. But even that would have helped so much. At the end of the day, Bernie is an Independent Senator. He has no establishment backing.
From now on Bernie will be blamed for every negative outcome from now until election day. He will get blamed for tearing the party apart. If Biden loses he will get blamed for that.
Bernie will get accused of racism, sexism, craziness, divisiviness, etc.
Good luck, friends. Treat yourself well.
So is there any indication that Bernie is going to switch up his game plan and start making shrewd political moves? Or is he just going to stick to his same ways and watch Biden run away with this?
So basically it’s 2016 all over again except it’s basically a tied ball game at the moment rather than Joe having a 200 delegate lead
Rocha is implying they are pivotingSo is there any indication that Bernie is going to switch up his game plan and start making shrewd political moves? Or is he just going to stick to his same ways and watch Biden run away with this?
Bernie really really needs to tap into the black religious community somehow.So is there any indication that Bernie is going to switch up his game plan and start making shrewd political moves? Or is he just going to stick to his same ways and watch Biden run away with this?

Bernie, AOC, Ro Khanna, Mark Pocan and other campaign people were on MSNBC/CNN all day yesterday. We're running television ads in Florida, Ohio attacking Biden's social security record. The Obama ad should've went up right after New Hampshire instead of right now. We have no momentum but the plus side is that we are going to have a debate next week where Biden can't hide. Let's see how they handle the rest of the weekSo is there any indication that Bernie is going to switch up his game plan and start making shrewd political moves? Or is he just going to stick to his same ways and watch Biden run away with this?
I critique mistakes of the campaign and we're not done but imo we are actually lucky this behind-the-scenes establishment mobilization didn't happen the week before South Carolina instead of right after. They should've prepared for this scenario but it really was paralyzing to see Pete/Amy drop out then everyone in the Washington DC orbit get behind Biden lol + Warren
70 million in free media in two days is Bloomberg level and people actually like Biden...notice how no one is getting concerned about his cognitive ability like they were about Bernie's health when he won NH. Primary voters are completely polarized due to perceived electability and Trump and the Dem establishment can persuade their voters better than the GOP can. M4A was at 70% approval in Maine exit polls and Biden still won there...Biden got 50% of late deciders in exit polls that's hard to counter lol
